Well guys, sad to say I just got the call from the body shop and he said the car is a total loss. I have yet to hear from the insurance company, but when I do they arent going to like what I have to say.

I have receipts for upgrades (paint, brakes, etc.) that have been done in the past few months that add up to about double the kbb of the car.

We'll see how it goes though, I wont let her die without a fight!!

That is terrible, I also really enjoyed watching your mod progress. One of the best w203's I have seen.

Dang, that really sucks man. Are you thinking about getting into another w203 or using the money to move to a C63?

Sorry to hear that but make sure you fight them on the mods...you won't get anywhere near what you put in her with the recent paint and mods but who knows...

Bummer. You should buy it back from the insurance and fix it most definitely if they can't give you top dollar. You should do it anyway.

Well..........sad to say, I think I'll be parting it out.


Not sure what I'll be able to pull off the car since I've sold most of the stock parts haha but I'll make a thread with the details.


The insurance company's initial offer surprised me, but I am going to try to get more.

Thinking about an E55 or C63, cant decide.

Damn, VERY sad to hear brother! VERY SAD! What complete BS. Perhaps the most tastefully modded 32 on MBWorld. It sucks to see her fall victim to financial discretion. Such is the price we modders pay I suppose. Makes me afraid to drive my girl...smfh.

I get the intoxication of W211 E-class AMG power, but could never accept the lack of cornering ability that would be associated. C63 gets my vote!!! If 6.3 liters grows "boring", a Weistec upgrade is just a savings account away!!!

Bust out those receipts and fight tooth and claw! I did with my Tacoma, and ended up getting within $2K of what I paid for it 10 years before!

That sucks indeed. May I suggest 996TT if you don't need to have 4 doors. Good luck on fighting the insurance company!

Well thank you for the kind words. I've always admired your C55, that sound is insane!!

I'm going to try my best to get as much as I can to help me move forward. I totally agree, but right now with the price difference in the C63 vs. an E55 you could easily slap some coil overs on the 55. SO, I'm still up in the air on things, I'll prob wait till end of summer to make a decision, get a couple test drives in maybe.

Weistec for the 55 too

The 996TT's have always been a dream car of mine. I may have to look into that as an option as well
